2.5 General Preferences To bring up the User Preferences window, go to File > User Preferences or click on the toolbar icon. You will see the following window as Figure 2.5.1. The first tab is General Preferences. From here, you can define the hotkeys. You can also have your current layout auto-saved when you exit your Fortex environment. Once you are done customizing your General Preferences, click Apply for your change to take effect, or click on the Restore Defaults button at the bottom to restore to default value. The setting in General Preferences will have effect across all the windows inside Fortex.

Each application window in Fortex also has its own User Preferences. You can navigator through them by clicking on different tabs in User Preferences dialog, or you can bring up each individual User Preferences by right clicking in an empty area in the application windows and choose “User Preferences...” in the drop-down menu (Figure 2.5.2). You will learn about how to use each individual application window’s User Preferences in the following sections.
